DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental Implant Treatment Options

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root
that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or
bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good
general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal
disease, an injury, or some other reason. Dental implants are
so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost
a tooth.

Under proper conditions, with diligent patient
maintenance, implants can last a lifetime. Dental implants are
intimately connected with the gum tissues and underlying bone
in the mouth. Since Oral Surgeons are the dental experts who
specialize in precisely these areas, they are ideal members
of your dental implant team. Not only do Oral Surgeons have
experience working with other dental professionals, they also
have the special knowledge, training and facilities that you
need to have teeth that look and feel just like your own.

Your Oral Surgeon and Dentist will consult
with you to determine where and how your implant should be placed.
Depending on your specific condition and the type of implant
chosen, your Doctor will create a treatment plan tailored to
meet your needs.
